The Browns Board

  • Gotta say I HOPE he comes back, but am not getting too hyped up.....I haven't heard the NFL say they were gonna revisit this and, until I do, Im not counting on anything.....Honestly dont know if there is any meat to the rumors or just media speculation....

    But, WOW!.....if he comes back....

    I don't understand the thought process here and it has nothing to do with Steelers vs Browns! He broke the rules in place and he broke them multiple times.

    If they changed the speed limit on 71 from 65 to 70, should I expect them to give me the money back for the ticket I got last month for going 70?

    I do understand your point of view and the NFL could very well say that at the time they broke the rules so the suspension stays in effect.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the new drug testing policy didn't go into effect until the start of the next league year.

    I'll help you understand......it's not a law, it's a rule....and the NFL is a company, not a court....they can do whatever the hell they want to do.....

    An ability we all complain about when it doesn't suit us...

    Nobody complained when Haden was handed two games. Now we see that Gordon barely checks in at an outdated NFL threshold on half a test. I'd say there's legitimate cause for conversation.

  • 9 PM conference call with player reps. I guess we'll find out more tomorrow.

  • Would be huge news and I'm quietly optimistic for the season already if this happens I may expode.

    Just disregard this ignoramus post...I guess your Weed boys should get a freebie too huh.. or how about Antonio Brown , intentionally slamming his foot down on someone's head... It looked every bit intentional . I don't care what anyone say's.. He could've adjusted his body to land elsewhere...

    Nickers...5 times he broke the rules. Once after he was already flagged for another. Josh Gordon needs the one year ban to save his career. Attempting to compare it to first time offenders is ridiculous. I'm a proponent for the legalization of weed but Gordon is an idiot.

    Lets get this correct.

    Josh Gordon was placed in Stage 2 before he ever set foot in the NFL.

    You can deem whether that's fair or not.

    But lets stop with the hyperbolic falsehoods. He did not fail NFL drug testing 5 times.

    Is he coming back?

    Let's see... I have said that Josh Gordon will play this season in every thread even remotely related to the topic. So this time I'll say yes as well...

    Agree you were last week... glad to see you can move on. AS for the rest... see below...

    Josh may be an idiot, but that is not the question. The question here is whether or not he broke league rules this time by smoking pot...

    - The recently failed test result was at a level that is consistent with second hand smoke.

    - Josh maintains that he has not smoked, but has been exposed to second hand smoke.

    - Since his previous positive test he has been tested over 70 times and has passed them all except the test of the "A" split of the "failed" test; the "B" split detected the presence of the metabolite of interest, but at a level below the League's ultra-low "fail" threshold.

    Scratch that... 1:30 PM conference call with player repse to decide whether or not their current proposal is good enough...

  • Getting Gordon back for this week would be so awesome. I wonder if the ban is enough of a wake up call for him to realize he needs to quit smoking til he retires or will he be a moron and try to just stay under the threshold of fail.

  • I read 9 pm on nfl.Com when did it change to 1:30?

    1:30 PM for a convo between NFLPA and player agents... according to profootballtalk.com

    I guess 9 PM is for the NFLPA and player reps

  • Jet fan here, and while I'm not exactly looking forward to another team fighting for a wildcard spot (which you guys definitely would if Gordon comes back), I'm looking forward to Gordon being reinstated. I don't smoke, but occasionally will be around others who smoke. The current restrictions are nuts. I'd probably fail the test a few weeks out of every year.

    Besides, I picked up Gordon on Waivers last week. My fantasy team could use the boost. I already have Demaryius Thomas. That'd be one hell of a 1-2 punch.

    Good luck Browns fans on getting some justice and #12 back on the field next week!

    Thank you, friend. Good luck to your squad as well. Hopefully that offense of yours can compliment an impressive front 7 on defense.

    Well Jets fan. I'm not above taking a few hits from the old sticky icky, so I have to agree about the current restrictions being nuts, as well as our government's stance regarding cannabis. It's time to legalize it and be done with it! When you have alcohol, and tobacco being legal, which I fully support, because the government has no business telling us what we can and can't consume, and the growing epidemic of abuse of opiates and heroin (truly dangerous shit and highly addictive) it's ridiculous to continue a war on weed!

    While I haven't smoked the chron in a long time (mainly because I'm useless once I do) for the most part I agree. I have an immediate family member that is an opiate/heroin addict and its absolutely devastating, to say the least.

    Don't want to hijack the thread with Jet business, but thanks. Hopefully Geno cleans up the dumb stuff (running into defenders on 2nd down and fumbling inside the 5ydln instead of sliding, and taking 19yd sacks that remove us from FG range). Otherwise our hopes may fall to Vick.

    Exactly. Not to mention it'd probably decrease the jail population and costs by 25%.

    Not like that never happens here...

    Thanks for the good wishes, but as long as Rexy is your HC, then I cannot return them.

    Maybe next year... 😉

    For me, if I smoke it I get a nice hum, but can function quite well. However; when it's mixed with few drinks is when I get quite sluggish. At any rate, I hope your family member finds it within themself to shake off that horrible addiction. I sum it up to the fact that doctors started handing out pain pills like candy, for every little ache and pain, which is why it has made a huge comeback. When I was in high school heroin was considered such a 60s or 70s drug.
